Chapter 138: Piercing the Paper
"Yes, so my point of view is that if we can store food now, we should try to save as much as possible, otherwise it may not be really good.
For example, it is the season of spring bamboo shoots on the mountain, so you can pick as many as you can;
The vegetables in the field are growing well, and if they can be dried as much as possible, try to dry them.
Those who have money buy more grain and put it away, and the public middle school can also buy more grain and store it.
Our south should be better than the north, after all, no matter how bad it is, there are more birds and beasts in the mountains. Liu Wan said.
Wang Lizheng shook his head and said:
"Then you are wrong, you think that there are treasures in the mountains now, but in fact, there are some fierce beasts that ordinary people can't beat, even Xie Tietou, one person can't do it, just like tigers and wolves, and some small animals that can be beaten, such as pheasants and hares, but they will soon be wiped out.
However, Aunt Liu is also right, it is better to reserve in advance than not to prepare. ”
The direction of the chat unconsciously changed from the parents' shortcomings to the national economy and people's livelihood, which Liu Wan did not expect.
Originally, she just wanted to thank Xie Tietou for his help.
This made Liu Wan can't help but feel that whether it is in ancient or modern times, a person's fate is still linked to the great fortune of the family and country, no matter what era, there is no other.
The meal lasted until dark, when everyone had almost drunk the wine, and then the feast was dismissed.
Liu Wan's amount of alcohol is quite good, so drinking only a glass of monkey wine has little effect on her.
Wang Xiao and Wang Jing walked a little staggeringly, but they were not drunk and gaffe, and they could still walk home.
On the way back, Liu Wan asked Wang Jing coldly:
"Jing'er, how are you and Xie Lanhua doing now?"
"What? Mother, how do you know this? ”
Wang Jing's face turned red, even redder than the wine just now, his face was incredible, and he was caught off guard.
"Haha, I saw you and Orchid in the Xie family, and I can't see that their family is concentrating on hospitality, like I watched from the side, and my heart was like a mirror."
Liu Wan snorted arrogantly and did not betray Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, he told his mother about the third brother, in case the mother said that he said it, the third brother might not believe him in the future.
But there are some things that must be known to my mother, alas, it is really difficult for him to be a big brother.
But when Liu Wan said this, she said that she had discovered it herself, which relieved Wang Xiao's psychological burden.
"Mother, I'm pretty good with Orchid." Wang Jing borrowed wine to cover his face, and when he saw that his mother saw the clues, he simply stopped hiding it.
He originally felt that he had achieved nothing now, and his family had encountered all kinds of major events, and he needed money everywhere, so he didn't dare to tell his mother about it.
He wanted to wait until he made money before mentioning this matter to his mother, so that he could come to the door to propose.
Unexpectedly, my mother took the initiative to pierce this veil.
"Orchid, that girl is very good, I have been in contact with her a few times, she is a diligent girl, and her personality is also good, if you like it, find a good day, let's go to the door to propose." Liu Wan said.
She never expected that she, a single nobleman who had been single for so long, would now start to manage her son's marriage.
"Mother, our family is going to arrange a marriage for me now, will it cause famine to the family?"
Wang Jing was worried about this.
"Rest assured, the family can afford it now.
Think about it, you have made a fortune from fighting tigers, and your mother has recently opened a store in the city, and there is an income every day, you hurry up and make the abacus yourself, and I will entrust the shopkeeper to help me sell the goods.
An abacus is ten taels of silver, and the shopkeeper is three or seven open, he is 3 and we are 7, and soon you will be able to make money yourself. ”
Liu Wan was full of confidence.
"Okay, the three apprentices were practicing before, and now they are basically proficient, and when the eldest brother's matter is solved, I can also concentrate on making calculations, and I can usually take on some sporadic furniture work."
When Wang Jing heard this, he was also energetic.
"By the way, your wooden bird is quite delicate, can you make more and sell it on the market? Or I wonder if I can sell it to the capital.
Such a rare thing, we can't sell it for much money in the countryside here, if it can be sold to the capital, it will be valuable, there are so many princes and nobles in the capital, the most important thing is money, and the most scarce thing is rare things. ”
Liu Wan said according to her own work experience and life experience.
"If you want to do it yourself, I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself, there are a lot of tricks in it, and they can't do it.
But I can only make about four a month, not much. Wang Jing said.
"The output is small, but the scarcity is expensive, let's sell it for 20 taels of silver."
Liu Wan is categorical.
"Mother, so expensive? Will anyone buy it? ”
Wang Jing was taken aback. 20 taels of silver can build a big house, and a wooden bird can be worth 20 taels of silver?
Why didn't Wang Jing believe it?
"How can no one buy it? Don't worry, it will definitely be sold out, and they won't have time to grab it. ”
Liu Wan saw the appearance of the wooden bird with her own eyes, lifelike, and able to fly in the air for a long time, I am afraid that there is no toy in the Great Zhou Kingdom that will be so vivid and interesting.
So Liu Wan is very confident in this.
Wang Jing played a small drum in his heart, not believing that the wooden things he made could be sold for so much money.
But anyway, my mother said that I would help him sell it, so he would make some first.
The mother and son walked all the way and said, and when they arrived at the door, Wang Lian heard the sound and stepped out with her short legs, walked to Liu Wan's side not very neatly, pulled the corner of her clothes and said:
"Mother, why have you been there for so long?"
"Uncle Xie is happy, invite us to eat and drink." Liu Wan said.
"Oh, no wonder I smell a lot of wine."
Wang Lian twitched her little nose, with a cute and cute look.
Liu Wan couldn't help but touch her little head, her fluffy hair was warm in the palm of her hand, it was really a little padded jacket.
"Li'er, how about walking now? It doesn't hurt, does it? ”
Liu Wan asked Wang Lian.
She saw that her daughter's walking was basically normal, but she didn't dare to walk fast, she should be psychologically affected, for fear that the wound would be torn open.
Wang Lian nodded and said, "Mother, it's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, maybe I've been lying down for too long, my legs are a little sore, I'll just walk slowly." ”
"Well, that's good. Where's your fourth brother? Liu Wan didn't see Wang Li for a long time, so she remembered it.
"It's good, he doesn't have a fever. Just now, my sister-in-law cooked pimple soup, and I brought it to him. "Wang Lian is sensible.
"Oh." Liu Wan responded, feeling a little strange in her heart.
Pimple soup?
What about the leftover chicken soup in the morning?
"Didn't you eat the chicken soup hot?" Liu Wan asked Wang Lian.
"No, the chicken soup is still in the pot, maybe my sister-in-law wants to use it to cook snacks."
Wang Lian speculated with a good intention.
Liu Wan felt a pimple in her heart.
She went to Xie Tietou's house in the afternoon, she didn't expect him to invite everyone to drink, and she didn't rush back to make dinner in the evening, Wu Huiming knew that Wang Li was injured and had shed so much blood, so he should add more nutrition, why did he only cook a pimple soup?
But maybe there's a lot of meat in the gnocchi soup, right?
